[eerilyLOL]

Dude, is this mahogny shells?

[spercoco]

geeez tune those things or something.

[Mightyhumungus]

w2g interesting

[shaindaman13]

I'm not even a drummer but if I were, I would play nothing but Ludwig.

[TheDrumtillicum]

I need this kit in my life. Everything about this kit is just like WOW

[skippyskatestuff]

dude your kit is setup so funky haha, but whatever works

[maggotpuke]

[madmardigon24]

ha ha, 20k + views - Thanks for looking!

[audiotrax2000]

Why do I always think drums sound so much better when they are recorded really crappy with an open mic?

[madmardigon24]

@audiotrax2000 probably because the sound is more organic & not some studio reproduction of a tone.

[theaeyuio]

Evite de te pencher en avant comme tu le fait. C'est pas très esthétique et tu dos souffrira. Sinon tu joue bien

[xSugarDaddy420]

Hey man I just bought the same kit with the 26 inch bass but its marine pearl for $500, Was that a good deal? What did you pay? Thanks.

[ybot1983]

look kinda penatent at 0.50

[AncientItalianSecret]

Great beat!

[5150igor]

timbre horrivel ou sera o tratamento acustico do ambiente:??

[madmardigon24]

@5150igor - Having trouble translating. My portugese is no good.

[roybose]

@madmardigon24 its called google translate.

[madmardigon24]

@roybose yeah, not saying I didn't translate it already, just doesn't translate very well.

"timbre will be horrible or acoustic treatment of the environment:?"

- explain that to me.

[madmardigon24]

@madmardigon24 - maybe it translates to "are the tone of the drums horrible, or is it the environment?" 

[mrozzy1231]

why do you have your tom on the left?

[discohunter12]

@mrozzy1231 That's just how some people play, dave grohl has a similar setup when he plays drums nowadays, neil peart also has similar

[LucaCava94]

that bass drum is a 24", bonham used always a 26", so that's not a zep kit

[madmardigon24]

@LucaCava94 - bass drum was a 26", couldn't remember when asked earlier, & sold the kit about a week after posting the video, but checked my records.

[switchheelfront360]

@LucaCava94 thats definitely a 26".

[madmardigon24]

@thegermanchannel212 - I learned by watching south park. ha ha.

[ConcretePie]

You lucky fucking bastard. With that kit you only need a crash-ride and a hihat.

Give it to me.

[gamafon]

nice kit ! :)

what are the sizes ?

[madmardigon24]

@gamafon - 24" bass, unsure of rack tom - 12 or 13"?, 16 & 18" floor toms. it was a zep kit reproduction or something.

[gamafon]

@madmardigon24 Nice

[madmardigon24]

@gamafon - 24" bass, unsure of rack tom - 12 or 13"?, 16 & 18" floor toms. it was a zep kit reproduction or something.

[seusgordo]

at the beggining looks like you play with 10,000 pounds over your head

[madmardigon24]

@ZildjianL4D2 - thanks! I made this video to illustrate the sound of the kit for a guy who I sold it to in Monterrey Mexico - didn't expect it'd have so many views & comments. I typically play a 3 or 4 piece kit, 20-22" bass, typical set up, but really tight, & don't cross over on the snare/hi-hat. With this bass I couldn't get the hat in close enough, so moved the rack tom to the right side. Whatever works, right! It's really funny all the arguing about grip. Do whatever is comfortable!! :)

[masterzero0000]

@madmardigon24 i use to have my kit set up like that but due to space i had to move my tom to its regular spot. =( but i still have the floor toms on both sides of me and since im left handed, i keep my ride to the left of me =)

[tp10488]

that's a strange set up, but it works and sounds cool.

[Jimmy1tooth]

at:55 you will see why the match grip is the best grip

[FighterOfFoo284]

@Jimmy1tooth There is no "best" grip. It's whatever you feel like playing. Rock can't really be played with traditional grip. And jazz is better with traditional. I personally play matched for most stuff because thats how I learned. Get over your biased self, please.

[Jimmy1tooth]

@FighterOfFoo284 have someone read my comment to you, this way you understand it.

[FighterOfFoo284]

@Jimmy1tooth No, I understand what you're saying. I watched that bit. You're trying to say that with traditional he couldn't play that lick. But you're wrong because with practice, you can do pretty much anything.

[Jimmy1tooth]

@FighterOfFoo284 the only drummers that needed to use the tradition grip were the drummers in the civil war.drummers that use tradition grip like ian paice even say there is no need for the grip.most drummers use it for looks

[FighterOfFoo284]

@Jimmy1tooth Note that I never said that you need traditional for anything. I said its whatever you feel like using. Traditional is the tradition, hence the name. Some people like to keep the history of it alive by using it in Jazz and other music like that.

[frietjericcardo]

your hihat isn't very straight...

[DKVillain]

Ludwig is king :D

[westhofer8]

are these classic maples?

[OhYeah729]

no those are accent series

[akosnacks]

Hey man I love the set. I want to upgrade to it. Out of curiosity what high hats are you using, I'm in the market for some and I like how those sounded with the snare.

[madmardigon24]

old z-mac zildjian 14" hats. Not very loud, but very versatile.

[numbbum85]

Where did you get the kick drum head with the vintage logo? I only found them for 22" kicks. Can you lead me to the right place?

[beeterolds]

ludwig themselves or ebay

[lespaul4U]

Mine just came today,its great i love it!!!!!!!!!!!

[benlooe]

a drummer that holds his sticks properly, nice to see. Brilliant technique and sound. Just bought a 64 Ludwig BRILLIANT!!

[madmardigon24]

Thanks! I have a 63' Gretsch champagne sparkle rock kit that's my baby. The vintage kits sound the best, but this kit sounded pretty good!

[Antiks72]

Yeah, none of that match grip faggotry.

[lespaul4U]

i bought that kit,its coming in the mail soon,are the stock evans heads good???????

[madmardigon24]

sure

[drstrangefunk]

wow. not only does the kit sound like Bonzo, you even got the Bonzo reverb - how the hecj did you manage that ?

also props to you as a drummer. YOU don't sound like Bonzo.

[madmardigon24]

don't know about the reverb. my living room must be cavernous or somethin. thanks for props.

[ralphcore]

26" kick?

nice - not as nice as my super classic maple 1974 silver sparkle, but nice anyhooo.

happy drumming.

[MicahTheBeast]

Nice playing! That's a unique way of setting up that kit, but you make it work I guess.

[whentheleveebreaks11]

i have the same kit.they sound really amazing

[magicfreek101]

what mic did you use

[madmardigon24]

Internal Mic on Canon SD1000 digital camera

[madmardigon24]

See 2nd comment...

[ChrisKiffmayer]

this kit is fabulous

[madmardigon24]

I normally play on small jazz kits, & don't cross over the snare/hi-hat so I play however is comfortable. I sold this kit, but it was a lot of fun while I had it...

[shindiggerfilms]

dude, i'm feelin that bonham vibe, awsome, i just ordered that kit. haha do u always use that wacky setup?
